Housing Solutions Center (HSC) of Kitsap County
The Kitsap County Housing Solutions Center is your first step in seeking housing assistance. This center is funded by grants from the Kitsap County Housing and Homelessness Division; works in tandem with community partners throughout the county; and is managed and staffed by Kitsap Community Resources.
As a one-stop community portal to county-wide housing availability and resources, HSC can connect individuals to housing resources throughout the county, including emergency shelter, rental & deposit assistance, and/or landlord referral.
